Forums

So, I was looking through our forums admin panel and I find that we have a large number of inactive users. While a lot of them clearly appear to be spam bots of some kind, many others appear that they may be genuine users. After going through the registration screen, you should receive an email with a link to activate your account. If you never received this email let me know. I wonder if the email is not being caught by some email spam filters.

If you registered for the forums but never received an activation email please send an email to matt@runningdtw.com with the user name you registered with and I can manually activate your forum account.

Episode 14 – Campaign Settings: Published vs Homebrew

In this episode we have two guest hosts, Tim returning again from episode 5 and Andrew another player from our group that we have mentioned several times on before on the podcast.

With all four of us on the mics we get off the main topic a lot but what’s new. Editing also my seem a little below standard as we tend to talk over each other a little more.

Our topic of discussion is Campaign Settings: Published vs Homebrew. We all give some pros and cons for each and we each state which is our prefered type of setting. Tim and I come at this from mostly a DMs view point, while Jason and Andrew talk mostly from a players view.
